Can i use 2 different brands of cleansers?..PLZ ANSWER:(?

Question

St.ives Apricot scrub,and Murad kit.I love them both,so i was wondering if i can use Murad in the mornings,and St.Ives at night.They both have Salysilic acid as the main ingridient.I only use the Cleanser,and moisturizer from Murad.And i moisturize with murad after using St.ives in the morning.I was just wondering if this is bad????????/

I been using Murad,and St.ives for the past 2 days.

cleansing/exfoliating/moisturizing

Answer 1

Use the Apricot every third day and lay off the acid on that day. Two exfoliants can cause redness and irritation.

Answer 2

I can't see where this would hurt you. Just remember that if your skin becomes to dry that you should ease up a little. If you end up unable to use both daily maybe you could rotate between the two. Personally, I by two different products from the same brand and mix them. You wouldn't believe how that solved my skin issues.

Answer 3

Murad uses salcylic acid and so does st ives. You have nothing to worry about. The brand isnt what matters, it's the ingredient.

Answer 4

You can use whatever you want, as long as it works for you.
Buying products for your skin type [ oily, combination, dry, sensitive, normal ] is more important than the brand.
Wash, tone if necessary, and sunscreen in AM; and wash, tone, and moisturize in PM.

Answer 5

yea, just not one after the other, but if that makes you dry then i would do one every other day like St. monday and M. tuesday, well you get the picture.

Answer 8
